This section is
devoted to our Armed Forces and Emergency Services. They all
contributed and still do contribute a great deal to Canada and
Canadians. We will mostly provide information from antiquarian
resources but we'd love to hear from any of our visitors who can
contribute text, pictures or videos to the site. We have made use of
many of the free and out of copyright resources in pdf format to
help bring you their story. Where we provide a pdf publication we'll
add "pdf" to the link description so you know it's a pdf file you'll
be linking to.

SALUT!
OH, CANADA! is not put forth as the most scintillating example of
the literary and pictorial talent of the members of the Canadian
Expeditionary Force. As a rule, our efforts at scintillation are
somewhat hampered. Cases have been known where quite witty jests
have suddenly lost their point, or been supplied with a new one in
the shape of a 5'9 (Essen). "Cold feet" also is a complaint
unfavourable to humour. Wherefore it is alleged that most of the
current "trench jokes" and "dug-out drawings" are done in London
flats by junior members of the War Office Staff. We cannot vouch for
this. All that needs be said, gentle reader, with regard to the
present olla-podrida, is that it is an attempt to round up a few
scattered details and form them into an active unit. The appearance
of OH, CANADA! will not, we trust, interfere with the vigorous
prosecution of the war. The Somme will duly be set on fire, but
copies of OH, CANADA! will not be used as incendiary ammunition. It
may cause a few momentary misgivings in the breast of Little Willy;
but, on the other hand, it will probably confirm all General von
Bernhardi's calculated opinions of our Colonial futility. However,
our trench vis-d-vis, Fritz, has seen us in various parts and
postures. It is unlikely that he likes us. One or two things have
crept into this publication which may further wound his feelings,
but it can't be helped. OH, CANADA! will remind our friends as well
as our foes that whenever any occasion arises for their presence.
